  1. Using Google Chrome. There are times when returning to the comment, after a page up, what has been typed has remained but it does appear to depend on the amount that has been typed - as if a 'buffer area' still holding a limited (64 to 128) number of bytes (I still use the old terms). Most frustrating when a couple of full lines typed and that is lost. If I have a spare hour or so I will have a play and record my actions step by step. No problem using arrow keys when typing comments in any other forum - just the Gallery.
  2. When adding comments - to individual photos within the Gallery I am unable to use the 4 arrow keys to move around the written text. Every time I hit the arrow key it causes a 'Page up' moving out of the Comment box and 9 times out of 10 I loose what I have already typed and have to start again. Can't find a way around it, other that use mouse to click into position. Is it just me, and I will have to experiment more, or is this the same for everyone?
  3. Google street view approaching the railway lines + some old photos of what used to be there.
  4. Canny Lass - updates on 2 of the Netherton Infant School photos by a new member , 'bluebarby' on this site :-
  5. Cheers 4G - I have more updates to do on the names added to the school photos in the Album - I will use one of the methods you have given me when I get them all done so hopefully just a one-off job.
  6. Andy(4G) - Is there a function that allows you to delete photos from the Gallery? I have added some info, within an existing photo 'Netherton Colliery school2 earyl 1950s with names' and uploaded it into Historic Bedlington - Netherton/Nedderton old photos 2 as 'NethertonCollieryInfantSchoolc1951withnames' but can't find a function that will allow me to delete the old copy 'Netherton Colliery school2 earyl 1950s with names'. I see there is an 'EDIT' function but on this new system it only allows me to update the Album information, not delete photos within the Album. As yet I haven't attempted to upload a replacement photo and give it the name of an existing photo to see if it replaces the old with the new.
  7. Can't remember having seen a Coach Lane on anything I have looked at. Someone once posted a record from Bedlington Village Infants School - 1914 and that has one pupil living in Coach Road :-
  8. I try to avoid my opinions on the basis that if the correct facts are there as a basis for a debate/argument then the rest is just personal preference, whether based on experience or how the strings of the heart are pulled. However in this case I have to say something. That something is - why would we discuss any comment by a man who had a TV show with Mr Blobby and then a show based on highly volatile empty boxes that result in people, already housed in this country, whooping; clapping; praising the lord etc. etc when the box lid is revealed. I suggest Mr Edmonds and all contestants; audiences and highly trained box lid openers swap places with immigrants wanting to live in England. ps. - underlining works Canny Lass.
  9. Admin - I am just documenting today's attempt to login. Not after a response, I would think it was something within my system. As I supported ICL mainframe systems for 30 years resetting passwords for users that got it wrong happened all the time so I would expect it to have been me that was getting it wrong today - BUT just in case there is an intermittent problem on the new system :- Unable to login today at 11:43 using stored password. Cleared password from stored password field and re-input - login still failed. Reset Caps Lock and re-input password - failed. When I have had to change my password for various sites I move the last two digits to the front of the password (makes it easy on the old memory) just in case I had reset it 2 years ago - failed again. Last attempt - failed and locked out/suspended for 15 mins. 13:46 - tried again, using stored password - failed again. Opted for 'Forgot my password' (or whatever it is as I can't see it now) and responded to the email by resetting my password to get in. Chose the same password, that I believe I have always had, for 2 years and the system accepted me.

  19. Well that's my 2016 xmas ruined! I may as well request the fairies to gather my belly button fluff, seal it with the odiferous resonating slime from the lower digits and post it to Sweden and pay the extra to have it tracked only to find as it crosses the North sea, at 24 kph, it will be dragged into a black hole to be delivered in the parallel universe of 91.9 millionth entit My uncontrollable tears will not result in any kinetic movement but will result in the worlds ocean level rising by the square of 2 x mc hammer extreme dropped crotch joggers. ps. Dear Santa I have a list of names for you that are to be added to the DOH list of naughty children that can be excluded from presents so Stephen Hawking can start his one relative theory into why them, and Disc World, have been ignored. yours sincerely Wilf
  20. Get in - Conker King. ''gizmodo' is where I found the answer to :- The first argument against Santa's existence comes from astronomer and astrophysicist Linda Harden—formerly known as The Human Neutrino. She outlined her rationale with demolishing logic in this classic post: Is there a Santa Claus? http://sploid.gizmodo.com/can-santa-claus-exist-a-scientific-debate-1669957032
  21. Could be another mass exodus of miners from North Yorkshire to Queensland Brian:- http://www.adanimining.com/ Adani mining - Australia The Carmichael coal and railway project includes building Australia's largest thermal coal mine in the north Galilee Basin approximately 160km north-west of Clermont in Central Queensland, linked by a new 388 km standard gauge rail line to a new terminal at Abbot Point Port near Bowen.
